     A little bland, so added a teaspoon dried organo, zest of one lemon and some red chili flakes (mediterranian flavors now..). Serve with a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors and you won't miss the parmesan! - 5/15/09

     Loved this recipe. Had leftovers for lunch :o) Made minor changes canned tomatoes instead of fresh and fresh spinach instead of frozen. Used whole wheat rotini pasta... Delish. Will definately make again - 2/26/10

     I made this and sprinkled on about 1oz of Feta while on each plate is was still warm enough to heat the cheese perfectly. I used Olive oil and Whole Wheat Spaghetti as I had it left over. Still great can't wait to try it with all kinds of pasta. - 4/3/08

     I make this all the time, and love it. I usually add chicken, but shrimp is great too. And I personally add shredded parmesan or romano cheese, and skip the oil. But it's fast, easy, and has almost all the major food groups. (It's only missing the chocolate.) - 4/3/08

     Good, but a little bland. Pine nuts would be good with it. Also, I am not a mushroom fan so I added artichoke hearts. I think the artichoke hearts were my favorite part! - 1/26/10
  • SLIMKIM2B
     Delicious!! I may add some red bell pepper or artichoke hearts next time. - 5/27/09

     I used canned diced tomatoes, instead of fresh, but the result was still delicious! - 4/7/08

     I make something very similar, only use fresh spinach. Leave off the feta and it's vegan. I like it cold, like a salad, too. VERY good. - 5/15/10

     YUMMY! I used Tofu Sharitaki Fettucine for the Whole wheat pasta and saved at least 112 calories per serving. - 5/15/10

     This was a very appetizing colorful dish--and, I might add, very tasty. It is one of those recipes that, after following the original recipe the first time, I may modify and substitute ingredients when making it again. Incorporating shrimp and black olives into the dish would be a possibility. - 5/15/10

     This is very good. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen. - 5/15/10

     This is awesome! I will make it again and I cannot wait to take it to work tomorrow for my lunch. - 3/31/10
  • BASKET-CASE
     I love this recipe, expecially a good way to add spinach to the meal. I add other veggies too...broccoli, bell peppers, etc. Yummy! - 5/15/09
  • LORENE1955
     every ingredient in this pasta seems appealing to me - but I think I'll try it with olive oil instead of cannola oil. I'm part Italian - and grew up on lots of Italian cuisine - so I can't resist, LOL. I'll be trying this soon. - 4/6/08

     I made this with the addition of thyme, savory, curry, sage and adoboe for better flavor. Also added leftover pork rib meat that I had on hand. I used Whle Wheat Angel Hair pasta and grapeseed oil to make it healthier - 4/4/08

     I cut the cheese in half added MorningStar farms
    Chick-n strips and a Tbl of vinegar and red pepper, and substituted fresh spinach. It was great and cut the cholesterol. It made closer to 5 servings - 5/15/09
